I suggest you look at his possible appointees to his cabinet before you say it's premature to worry. They are oil and gas executives, political insiders, and climate change deniers. They are also damaging to clean air and water. They are very worrisome at this point, and this could be a rough 4 years for our environment and wildlife of those being considered are put in places of power. You might keep your public lands for the most part, which is good, but it's concerning they may be trashed by industry and our wildlife and wild places are put in jeprody because we as people on this planet should have the right to tear every wild place from limb to limb in the name of progress and development. Currently his choices for several postitions are concerning. I want to give him a chance, but we're off to a rough start here, not only on these issues but policies he's already embracing and talking about and his two main advisors he's picked, one of which is truly despicable and the other who's been a spineless member of the establishment that Trump was supposedly going to drain. I fear the only swamp hell drain is the one I duck hunt on at this point.
Look at who has misused the endangered species act in every way possible over the last 2 decades to promote and protect predators that destroy our wildlife. Look at who has done everything to stop logging and caused millions of acres to burn. Its not the republicans.
Republicans sure as hell haven't done our wildlife any favors, so don't preach to me on who's been worse. I'll agree the ESA has been used improperly, but at least democrats believe protecting habitat, wetlands, etc is important. Republicans undermine conservation, wildlife, and wild places at every turn.
I'm not going to go back and forth with you on it, there is an obvious side who isn't by any means perfect but is absolutely better on conservation and wildlife than the other in the world we live in today. That is all MM.
Here are some of the appointments he is considering. Cynthia Lummis is on the list for Secretary of Interior. That would be a disaster! http://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/who-is-in-president-trump-cabinet-231071
that is not true.republicans ,for the most part are the ones who work, play and live on these ,lands.they have much more at stake and much more hands on knowledge of what is and isn't good for the environment then the demigods who for the most part live in cities and couldn't even tell you the difference between a cow and a wolf.
That's exactly what I was trying say in my post, altho I didn't express it quite as good as you did!
find a new forum or watch your tone. there is such thing as debates without name calling. but you got my ears perked.... what consequences have you had to endure thorough our ignorance? lots and lots of public land to hunt? not having to pay high dollars to hunt someone's ranch?
